Fantasy Geekly: Week 11 football projections

Redskins at CowboysThe Redskins got a much needed win last week against Denver, but should find this game against their long time rival more difficult. The Redkins do not have much offense, and I do not see Jason Campbell exploiting the Cowboys' 18th-rated pass defense. I’ll give Campbell 175 and a score to Santana Moss, while Ladell Betts adds 55 and a score on the ground.

Dallas will be facing the No. 1 rated pass defense, but teams know they can run on the Skins based on the lack of offensive punch, and the 24th rated riun defense. I expect a good showing from Marion Barber here, and I’ll call for 80 yards and two scores. Give Tony Romo 200 and a score to Miles Austin and Roy Williams.

Browns at LionsThe Browns' offense has been downright brutal, but might get a bit of a break facing the Lions 18th rated run defense and 32nd pass defense. I’ll give Brady Quinn 175 yards and a score to Mohamed Massaquoi, while Jamal Lewis picks up 75 and a score on the ground.

The Browns come in No. 20 against the pass, and No. 30 against the run, so the Lions should be able to move the ball a bit as well. I’ll call for 185 and a score to Calvin Johnson and Bryant Johnson from Matthew Stafford, while Kevin Smith picks up 75 and a score on the ground.

49ers at PackersThe Niners want to run the ball first and foremost, but the Packers have the No. 4 rated run defense, and also boast the No. 5 pass defense. I’ll still give Frank Gore 70 and a score on the ground, while he adds 40 through the air. Give Alex Smith 170 and a score to Josh Morgan.

The Packers got a big win at Lambeau last week against Dallas, and face the No. 28 rated pass defense. Give Aaron Rodgers 250 yards and two scores, and I’ll call for scores to Greg Jennings and Donald Driver. San Fran is No. 3 against the run, so I’ll only give Ryan Grant 50 and a score here.

Steelers at ChiefsThe Steelers should have their way against a weak K.C offense, and defense. Look for Rashard Mendenhall to have a big game here, and I’ll give him 100 yards and two scores. Give Ben Roethlisberger 200 yards and two scores, and I’ll call for Mike Wallace and Hines Ward to grab the scores here. I can’t tell anybody to start a Chief here with Dwayne Bowe out.

Seahawks at VikingsSeattle does not run the ball well, and the Vikings have the 23rd rated pass defense. I expect Matt Hasselbeck to be busy in this one. I’ll call for 260 yards and two scores here, and I’ll call for scores to Nate Burleson and T.J Houshmandzadeh here.

The Vikings' balanced offense should give the Seahawks problems all day, and I’ll give Adrian Peterson 100 yards and two scores, while Brett Favre adds two scores amongst his 230 yards. I’ll call for Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin to catch the touchdown passes here.

Falcons at GiantsThe Falcons look to be without Michael Turner, which greatly changes what they will be apt to do in this one. The Giants have given up 15 scores through the air, and I expect Matt Ryan to be busy here. Give Ryan 270 yards and two scores here, and I’ll call for Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez to grab the scores. I’ll give Jason Snelling 45 yards on the ground as well, but no score.

The Falcons are 25th against the run and 27th against the pass, so this may be a great opportunity for the Giants to stop their four game losing streak. Give Eli Manning 240 yards and two scores, as he hits Kevin Boss and Steve Smith with scores, while Brandon Jacobs adds 60 and a score, and Ahmad Bradshaw adds 45 and a score on the ground.

Saints at BuccaneersThis should be a cake walk for New Orleans , especially after a struggle against the Rams last week. I’ll give Drew Brees 300 yards and two scores here, as he hit Marques Colston and Jeremy Shockey with scores. Look for both Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell to add scores on the ground here. Tampa has not been bad on the offensive side of the ball as of late, but I look for a lone Josh Freeman to Kellen Winslow score here.

Bills at JaguarsThe Jaguars defense can give up large chunks of yards and points, I just don’t expect the Bills to be the team to take advantage of them. I’ll give Marshawn Lynch 65 and a score, I would not expect much out of Ryan Fitzpatrick here, or ever.

The Bills have the 32 ranked run defense, enter Maurice Jones-Drew. Give MJD 125 and two scores on the ground, and I’ll give David Garrard 170 and a score to Torry Holt.

Colts at RavensThe Ravens still are tough against the run, but come in ranked at No. 13 against the pass, and I expect for Peyton Manning to take advantage here.Give Manning 320 yards and three scores here, as I will call for strikes to Dallas Clark, Pierre Garcon and Reggie Wayne. I do not expect much on the ground against the Ravens No. 5 run defense.

The Ravens will want to get Ray Rice going here, and I’ll call from a versatile day, as I expect 60 and a score from Rice on the ground, and an additional 35 and a score through the air. Give Joe Flacco another score to Todd Heap as well.

Cardinals at RamsThe Cardinals should have an easy day here, and I look for Kurt Warner to torch his former team. Give Warner 300 yards, and I’ll call for two scores out of Anquan Boldin, and another to Larry Fitzgerald. Look for Beanie Wells to adds a score on the ground. I’ll give Steven Jackson a lone score on the ground for the Rams here.

Chargers at BroncosThe Chargers seem to have it going again, and I expect them to continue it against the struggling Broncos. Look for LaDainian Tomlinson to have another solid day here, and I’ll call for 85 yards and two scores against the Broncos No. 11 rated run defense.

I’ll call for Philip Rivers to put up close to 200 and hit Antonio Gates for a score. I will work under the assumption that the questionable Kyle Orton will not play, so with Chris Simms at the helm, I would certainly expect less than numbers here.

Bengals at RaidersEven without Cedric Benson, it still should be no trouble for Cincinnati here. I’ll give Bernard Scott 50 yards and a score on the ground, while Carson Palmer puts up 200 yards and two scores, and hits Chad Ochocinco and Andre Caldwell with scores here. You know by now that you can’t star Raiders.

Jets at PatriotsWhy do I get the feeling that the Patriots punish the Jets coming off the loss to the Colts, and to revenge an early loss to the Jets? I would not expect much from the Jets here because of that.

As far as the pats go, I look for a huge game from Tom Brady, and I’ll call for well over 300 yards and three scores here, as Randy Moss grabs two, and Wes Welker grabs another. I’ll also give both Laurence Maroney and Kevin Faulk scores on the ground here as something tells me that this is a butt-whipping.Eagles at BearsThe Eagles are without Brian Westbrook, and while the Bears have the No. 7 rated pass defense, they have been torched a few times this year. Give Donovan McNabb another big game here in his hometown, and I’ll call for 350 yards and three scores here.

Give Brent Celek, DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin scores here. I don’t expect the Bears to have a lot of success against the Philly defense, but I’ll call for 50 and a score from Matt Forte, and 225 and a score to Greg Olsen from Jay Cutler. Titans at TexansThe Titans' fortunes seemed to change once Vince Young stepped in at quarterback, but I truly feel that it was when they decided to get the ball in Chris Johnson’s hands as much as possible. I expect another versatile game from CJ here, and I’ll call for 85 and a score on the ground, and an additional 40 yards and a score through the air.

Give Vince Young 175 yards through the air with the lone score to Johnson. This looks to be a nice match up for the Texans facing the Titans 31st ranked pass defense. I’ll call for 300 yards and two scores from Matt Schaub, and look for him to hit Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter with scores. I’ll also give 40 and a score to Steve Slaton on the ground, and 30 and a score from Ryan Moats.
